Re: Message groups pattern - "late" consumers

[Tim Bain <tb...@alumni.duke.edu>]

As far as I know there's no built-in way to rebalance JMSMessageGroups
across consumers, but i think that if you periodically close the message
group (every ten minutes?), when the next message comes in for that group
it should be eligible to be consumed by any consumer.  But since I've never
used message groups, you'll want to check that theory.

You'd also need to confirm that your consumers' business logic will
properly handle the case where a new consumer picks up processing a message
group after one of these closes.
